Here is a free 12 session course online for starting a business. It covers a lot including how to find the business you'll enjoy with the ability to make a profit. Writing a business plan, picking a location, marketing, finding financing, getting business insurance, and expanding and handling problems. The site also has a forum to discuss each course session, book suggestions, links to other resourses, free newsletter, and free downloadable Word doc templets of each section of a business plan to work from to make your own.

Your the person that im looking for, I posted this yesterday in hopes that you would read this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...3861171481&rd=1 it basically shows you everything you need to do to make all kinds of cleaning products and when I saw it well I knew that the post had to be made.

Hope this gives you some ideas as to what other kinds of products we all would buy that you can make.

Hopefully this will help people out as well the hardest thing to do is putting these dang business plans together its a pain in the butt. So I purchased one from ebay and they sent me one in the mail but they also sent me a template one that you can change to meet your businesses. Im willing to email it to others if they just ask for a copy of it. This is another tool that you will need not that im a expert god knows I only have that ged to fall back on.

Sorry Buster, I missed this post until now (smacking head against wall). Thanks for the help, I'm assuming it was a book. The link is dead now. I am starting in mid January to have a product by February (the plan anyways to correspond to $ and the person taking me through the steps).

If the plan you're willing to email others is like a financial plan, I'm alright (I love math and budgets, taxes etc.) but if it details other "hidden" costs, it would be good for a heads up for me.

Hey Mrs. Badger, This how to start a buisiness site is a great find. Thanks for the tip.

I gather Saxon88 is looking for a book of recipes on consumer products. Try "Henley's 20th Century Book of Formulas Processes and Trade Secrets" It has thousands of formulas, all public domain info, and you can always find a used copy on Amazon.
